Why does Canadian bacon taste like ham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Canadian bacon, also known as back bacon, is made from the pork loin, which is a lean and tender cut of meat. Its taste is similar to ham because both are made from pork, but Canadian bacon is typically less salty and has a milder flavor. Additionally, the processing and curing methods used to make Canadian bacon can contribute to its ham-like taste.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As much as I know there were no Concetraition Camps in Canada, that is a stupid quetion if I have ever heard one.

Answer

There were 26 Internment Camps established in Canada which held Japanese Italian and German Canadians. More than 30,000 were affected by these camps including 100 Canadian Communists. Forty Prisoner of War Camps were set up for 33,798 German and Italian POW's and 6,437 Civil Internees (mostly Merchant Marine).

Please note Internment Camps and Concentration Camps are NOT the same thing. Canada not have concentration camps.

Side note: the fact that you spelled question wrong leads me to doubt you. :D lol, jk, probably a mistake.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The economy did well, there was a lot of employment and a lot of work to be done, like building bomb shells and ammo for the war. The women got to do some of the mens jobs when the men were off to war. Overall the economy was great and there was a high demand for wheat since the wheat prices went up in Canada at the time.

How did Canada become involved in Afghanistan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 2001, after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the U.S. government demanded that the Taliban (at the time the government of Afghanistan) to hand over Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda the terrorist organization that carried out the attacks. The Taliban essentially refused and the U.S., with the sanction of both NATO and the UN, invaded and aided rebel factions which had been fighting the Taliban for several years. In less than 30 days, by November, 2001, the Taliban had been ousted from power. Canadian soldiers, specifically the commandos of our special forces unit Joint Task Force 2, were in Afghanistan from the very beginning. In 2002 a battlegroup from 3rd battalion PPCLI was sent to Kandahar to aid in hunting down remnants of the Taliban and al Qaeda. In 2003, Canada began participating in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Kabul and sent more than 1,000 soldiers at a time on 6-month rotations to the Afghan capital. In 2006, Canada agreed to send a battle group and brigade headquarters to Kandahar for the transition from U.S. control (operation enduring freedom) to NATO control (ISAF) and has maintained a fighting presence there ever since. Canadian troops are responsible for security and fighting Taliban insurgents in Kandahar province, in cooperation with British, Dutch and other coalition forces.

How long can a Canadian stay out of Canada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you can stay up to six months in Australia with out a job or a work program

As long as you have permission [ a visa ] to travel as a tourist or reside as a registered alien in some countries.

Myself, I have been living out of Canada [ in Southeast Asia ] for about eleven years, and have recently met a Canadian citizen who had been employed by Walt Disney Studios as a cartoonist for almost 30 years, and is now retired and living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He is still a Canadian citizen because he has never applied for American citizenship, in the 40 years he has lived and worked outside of Canada.

yes, Canada provided many spies for the allies, and provided a very important service. Canada had camp X where almost all of the Canadian and British spies were trained, and Canadian spies were located in almost every European country where they aided the resistance, destroyed German supplies, and damaged transportation routes.

So yes, Canada had spies in WW2! bvfyud fyubvgjnhyzxtgdbvgju 5yu7

How did the economy change in Canada during World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First of all, it influenced theJewish civilians around Europe very much so and in general war weariness all around the world. People in England lived every day in fear of being bombed or gassed. They even had to carry around gas masks. The civilians on both sides were forced to produce materials of war and were taken away to supply a steady stream of soldiers to replace the many casualties. Almost all the government's decisions influenced civilian life during that time, for most of the government's decisions were military based. I hope this helps

What was Hitlers action on Canada during World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I seriously doubt that Hitler would have travelled to Canada. Before his rise to power, Hitler was either poor, in gaol or rising through the Reichstag's German Parliament so he was too busy to travel. During the war though, Canada was on the side of the Allies because it is a territory of Great Britain so Hitler would never have gone there.

If your ex-girlfriend has a new man and says she is happy could she just want you to continue calling her to make her new man jealous?

User Avatar

Asked by Sh0rty

We can only assume she broke it off with you; otherwise, you wouldn't be perplexed by her wishing to keep in touch. Assuming it was her idea to break up, it could be that she doesn't want to burn her bridges. Perhaps she had feelings for you but wanted to date other people and felt you were getting too attached, so she broke it off before things got too difficult for you (and her) to manage. Now, she's in another relationship and says it's going well (for now, that is), but who knows how long THAT will last? You could be her safety net. Some people have trouble making clean breaks. Maybe she still cares about you and wants to be friends.
